During the construction of a modern house, a large number of technologies are used that allow it to become a real fortress. This is not about security systems, video surveillance and fire alarm means, this refers to those processes that protect the inside of the building from moisture, wind, and also save the optimum temperature.
When we talk about the inside of the house, the term «microclimate» will be mentioned in the conversation, that is, not every individual factor is considered, but their totality. The main indicators of microclimate are temperature and humidity, and a comfortable atmosphere in the house will directly depend on them. It is necessary to find a balance in which it will always be warm, but the humidity will remain within reasonable limits. It is the vapor barrier of houses that is one of the ways to maintain the balance, it also serves as a protection for insulation, which can be destroyed from contact with moisture. When creating walls and ceilings, a layer of vapor barrier material is necessarily added, its presence is provided for by all modern technological processes.
Excessive humidity can lead to the most unpleasant consequences, especially if you do not solve this problem comprehensively. In old buildings that were built using old materials, sometimes you have to look for the most unexpected exits from the situation, but in new buildings you can initially do everything correctly. Believe me, no overhaul will be able to correct the flaws of construction, so initially you should not allow them.
